Ajay Vashishtha - PeerSpot reviewer
Helps to manage outbound campaigns such as automated outgoing calls to end users
In my opinion, Amazon Pinpoint needs improvement in several areas. It lacks many features that competitors like Genesys offer. For example, we cannot set up multiple campaign plans or switch campaigns from one set of customers to another. Additionally, reporting functionality needs to be improved. Amazon Pinpoint's reporting could be improved by providing more detailed insights into call activities. For example, users should be able to see metrics such as the number of end users called, the number of pending calls, and the outcomes of those calls (e.g., successful connections and unanswered calls). Additionally, users should be able to access this information through a dashboard or download reports directly from the platform. The tool's segmentation feature is good. However, there is room for improvement, particularly in updating dynamic segments. Performance is key. If customers or companies using Amazon Pinpoint don't see its effectiveness in reaching their audience, they won't invest in it.

Excellent user experience with ease of use and reliable technical support
When SAP CRM does the maintenance, it can take a long time, which can impact business continuity because we have to wait for the maintenance team to finish their work. Maybe if SAP could establish how you can access the tool using a cloud-based environment that would be virtualization, that would be better.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"From my experience, Amazon Pinpoint's most valuable feature is its ability to deploy outbound projects quickly. It is easy to use when setting up outbound campaigns, allowing us to deploy solutions rapidly. It is easy to learn."
"The Journey Orchestrator helps create personalized campaigns based on customers."
"Compared to other systems, SAP CRM has been reliable, stable, and cost-effective for us."
"The most valuable feature is real-time data. You don't have to go to the finance team for information. On one screen, you can see if stock is available and check the customer's outstanding balance, and then you can process the order. SAP CRM's integration with other applications is easier."
"The platform is highly scalable."
"The solution is easy to use."
"The most valuable feature for me is the flexibility to consolidate the products."
"Its scalability is good."
"The solution is highly scalable."
"Getting the right information at the right time across different programs is important. These programs lack interaction between them. IPA is a good option to bring them together."
 

Cons

"In my opinion, Amazon Pinpoint needs improvement in several areas. It lacks many features that competitors like Genesys offer. For example, we cannot set up multiple campaign plans or switch campaigns from one set of customers to another. Additionally, reporting functionality needs to be improved."
"Claiming a Pinpoint number should be more integrated with Amazon Connect."
"What I see as a challenge against our competitor is that Salesforce comes with more flexibility, for enhancement purposes, whereas the SAP CRM Cloud is more robust and rigid. It's not flexible to implement any bespoke solution."
"We would like the coding system within this solution to be more straightforward when carrying out general entry tasks."
"It can be a bit more user friendly, to be honest. Sometimes there are too many apps options. It should offer better UX (user experience) to make it easier to navigate and easier to use."
"Previously, the SAP CRM used to use simple servers, but now SAP uses HANA. The problem with the HANA databases is their interoperability with other solutions. SAP CRM could improve by working better with other solutions."
"SAP CRM could improve in the area of user-friendliness. It would help if you had an engineer to do the administration. The migration is complex when moving from the old version to the latest version."
"The tool's installation on the cloud takes time, but it should be easier. One transaction takes around one to one and a half hours."
"The navigation must be improved."
"In the future, machine learning and artificial intelligence functionality need to be included."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Amazon Pinpoint itself is inexpensive. However, additional services that may be required in conjunction with it, such as custom reporting services, can be costly."
"Every user needs to have a license."
"SAP CRM is an expensive solution and is the most challenging aspect of the solution."
"They should reduce the price to target small businesses."
"The company has seen an increase in revenue."
"The product is costly."
"We have to pay a yearly licensing fee for SAP CRM, which is expensive."
"Its price is reasonable. As compared to other CRMs, this CRM is competitively priced. They have multiple flavors with different sets of functionality. Pricing is based on the flavor that suits your requirement. If you have more users, the cost will come down."
"We pay for the license yearly."
